What is it?
The mentoring program is a transformative program that lasts 6 months, with monthly meetings with a mentor but also a coach as well as community workshops to deepen one’s knowledge and skills.
It is much more than a simple mentoring program, it is about joining a community with which you share common values as well as expanding your network and getting support in building your project
Right from the start, the mentees are invited to define their specific objectives and an action plan for the duration of the program. At the end of the program, each mentee is invited to present projects and works which illustrate the progress made, the changes implemented during the duration of the program and which will serve in the long term, once the program is finished.
What are the benefits for the participants?
Mentees develop a set of practical tools, skills, knowledge, expand their network and take part in an experience allowing them to deepen their professional and creative projects.
Mentors can refine their own skills through the mentoring relationship as well as develop a partnership in order to make their current projects prosper, it is the opportunity to create a lasting collaboration.
Why?
In the professional world, it helps a lot when you meet someone who has more experience in your area of expertise. This creates a paradigm shift and allows you to discover new resources and envision new realities. In addition, we know that women, especially those minorized and / or from low socio-economic households are more vulnerable from a socio-professional standpoint.

We select 6 mentors and mentees per promotion. To apply, you must first complete an online form and become a member.
